To leave MumsNet because it's becoming RadFeministNet?

[SigmundaFraudina]

Had enough of their agenda being forced down my throat whether I want it or not. Major recruitment drive going on lately, and serious opression of other posters views. Just gets worse and worse. This was not what I believed MN was supposed to be about.

I'm off.

But do keep reporting any posts you think are bullying/personal attacks, make sure MN are aware of them

See the thing with that is, personally I prefer to let the posts stand so that others can see what a twat someone is being.

But apart from that, is there any point in reporting?

MNHQ seem to remove tons of posts by certain individuals but they never remove the actual poster (not that I'm saying they should)

So the behaviour often continues day in and day out...oh and the threads make far less sense with all the deletions

Whenever I have an argument with my partner I do the whole I'M LEAVING NOW thing. I'M GOING TO BED. I'M GOING TO SIT IN THE KITCHEN, DON'T BOTHER ME.

Then I come back through AND ANOTHER THING YOU BASTARD.

I should learn to just leave.

Oh I love Friends. And it is always on.

Why isn't Fraiser?

I know, and Cheers

I woulld love that

Trying to engage a poster in a dialogue, to examine their views closely, is NOT the same thing as 'attacking' or 'bullying' yet those terms get thrown around so often!

I think some posters percieve a challenge to a particular POV as a personal attack, which it isn't. It can be uncomfortable to have your view challenged and questioned, but it isn't the same thing as being called stupid or ignorant, or having "an agenda forced down [your] throat".

Why does no one ever announce that they are going to have a massive sulk? They could be all passive/aggressive and say "fine" all the time.

Frasier is on c4 every morning! (mat leave guilty pleasure)

Oooo Controversial WL...

What are you trying to suggest by that?

I got all the early series of Cheers for my dc to watch. They are incredibly dated, really odd now.

My favourite EVER is where for reasons I can't remember Sam carries Rebecca across a garden and has to explain to the millionaire that it is a long held dream...

There are often personal or rude attacks on MN Equestrian. Not just on feminism, everywhere.

It's not really pleasant to be called ignorant or whatever. I don't mind anyone disagreeing with me, I do mind people being slagged off.

Or worse being misrepresented. That is really bloody annoying.

Oh I loved Cheers, especially the ones with Diane in.

"NORM!"

What about Roseanne? That was shit, weren't it?

Still, gypsies tonight, that's quite fascinating.

The first few series were BRILL. It was when she went and had all that surgery and stuff it all went sad..

I loved Darlene

My mum's best mate used to say that I reminded of Darlene.

The guy that played cliff the mailman follows my brother on twitter i'm rilly quite vicariously proud

oh pore ol Cliff

I am vicariously vicariously proud

not pore ol for following your bruv you understand.

I don't do 'suggestions', I'm not that subtle

My post does what it says on the tin so to speak

When someone's accused of bullying, often their 'stock reply' is "Well report my post then"

Then they'll often get loads of messages deleted by Mumsnet....but are free to carry on with the same behaviour.

Perhaps MN needs a 'sin bin' or a 'naughty step'

Come on, gals! Simmer down. We're talking 80s/90s U.S sitcoms!

What about Seinfeld? I hated Seinfeld.

Is there a particular reason why some people are choosing this thread to chat about TV?

threads move on all the time, its a discursive whoosis you see

i did like seinfeld, it was v radical at time in that no one was likeable (nor meant to be) and they never learned anything

I did not like jerry's standup bits

yes I'd say the fem topics can be bullying and strident
but then so can lots of mn (certainly the bf topics are wild)
it's just fem topics use the sista hood argument is you a proper sista?
